Cats in Ancient Egypt were important both as domestic pets and as symbols of deities such as Bastet and Ra. There were two indigenous feline species in Ancient Egypt: the jungle cat (Felis Chaus) and the African wild cat (Felis Silvestris Libyca), the first being found only in Egypt and South Eastern Asia. The earliest Egyptian remains of a cat were found in a tomb at the predynastic site of Mostagedda suggesting that the Egyptians were already keeping cats as pets in the late fourth Millennium BC.
